Program Synopsis

Rivalry between jet pilots -- in the old Chester Morris-Richard Arlen "B-movie" mold -- is woven through this fictional account of Air Force war games over the Nevada desert, highlighted by some extraordinary aerial photography by Rexford Metz. Retired General Charles Yeager, the famed test pilot of the '50s, whose exploits were a major part of Tom Wolfe's "The Right Stuff," was this film's technical advisor.
